Through chapter 3.
The kid is loving this. Completely into the snark and the science and the story. Noticing pieces of relevant info that come in.
Her mother thinks she doesn’t like sci-fi, but that’s not it. Kiddo doesn’t like *star wars* (or trek) or cheesy looking visual sci-fi. She like the Martian and is liking this… I think I have a hard SF fan on my hands here…

Kiddo will be 12 I. A couple weeks so we are shifting our evening read aloud books to “adult level with supervision.”
She was giggling at the first chapter and had no trouble following. This should be fun!

Well, this was a lot of amusing and fun.
I think it does work, overall, and it's better than Artemis. Not as good as The Martian.

1) dead tree reading. Proper paper weight used in this hardcover, so that’s nice.
2) amusing to read this right after a chambers galactic commons novel. Apparently algae really are the fuel source of the future.
